Complex Variables 2014-02-18 v1

Abstract

This paper presents a primitive nnth root of unity in C\mathbb C. The approach is very elementary and avoids the following: the complex exponential function, trigonometry, and group theory. It also avoids differentiation, integration, and series. The presentation of the primitive is indirect.
